Magnus goes to Hogwarts

Magnus' POV

Moving to England was a difficult thing to do, yes I do have all the time in the world, and yes I can move back to New York anytime I want to. But leaving Alec behind was difficult, I knew it would be a great experience being a substitute teacher at Hogwarts but knowing he is at home waiting for my return in a couple of weeks. It's only a couple of weeks but when you're not with the one you love it can feel like a life time. When I got the letter from my good old friend Dumbledore asking me if I would do him the honour of filling in for transfiguration lessons for a couple of weeks, I accepted as he reminded me I owed him a favour after he had cured my eye after I got glitter and poison in my left eye (long story and not a pretty one).

I had finally arrived at the brilliant bold castle of Hogwarts in the cold mountains what surrounded the castle for protection from mundanes, or in England they call them 'muggles'. Tightening my silver cashmere scarf around my neck I marched into the school and straight to Dumbledore's office.

Dumbledore's POV

I heard the door swing open with a bang and found my good friend Magnus standing in the doorway with his traveling bag in one hand and his is old, no often used, wand. Peering over my spectacles I smiled at Magnus he had not changed one bit; he couldn't change as he was immortal but also he was just as flamboyant as the last time I saw him in 1979. "Magnus, my old friend, take a seat I am so very happy you have decided to accept my request"

"Anything for you Dumbledore" he answered smiling, his cat eyes warm and full of energy. "It's been to long we should Skype sometime". I cocked my head to one side pondering what this 'Skype' was, properly an electrical muggle devise what he is so fond of.

" I have arranged for you to stay in the spare rooms above the Slytherin common room, I believe this will be comfortable for you and I wish for you to join me for dinner in the Great Hall where I will introduce you and give you your timetable, I presume you are prepared for the classes? I send an owl to New York giving you notes on the class you will be taking".
